Serialization

ESP Strengthens Alliances Through GS1 & HDA

ESP has moved to strengthen its global serialization alliances and knowledge base by becoming members of two globally recognized and respected organizations – GS1 Healthcare and HDA (Healthcare Distribution Alliance). ESP, as serialization industry leaders, plan that these partnerships will align more closely with ESP’s global organization and thereby allow delivery of enhanced client value.

About GS1 Healthcare

GS1 Healthcare leads the healthcare sector in the successful development and implementation of global standards by bringing together experts in healthcare to enhance patient safety and supply chain efficiencies across the globe.

ESP already partners with GS1’s Ireland Section, providing pharmaceutical manufacturers with the expertise to achieve their serialization and anti-counterfeiting obligations in line with the highest global standards.
